kbuild: Fix gcc -x syntax

2012-10-17T02:49:27Z

commit b1e0d8b70fa31821ebca3965f2ef8619d7c5e316 upstream. The correct syntax for gcc -x is "gcc -x assembler", not "gcc -xassembler". Even though the latter happens to work, the former is what is documented in the manual page and thus what gcc wrappers such as icecream do expect. This isn't a cosmetic change. The missing space prevents icecream from recognizing compilation tasks it can't handle, leading to silent kernel miscompilations. Besides me, credits go to Michael Matz and Dirk Mueller for investigating the miscompilation issue and tracking it down to this incorrect -x parameter syntax.

perf top: Reuse the 'report' hist_entry/hists classes

2011-10-07T19:56:44Z

This actually fixes several problems we had in the old 'perf top': 1. Unresolved symbols not show, limitation that came from the old "KernelTop" codebase, to solve it we would need to do changes that would make sym_entry have most of the hist_entry fields. 2. It was using the number of samples, not the sum of sample->period. And brings the --sort code that allows us to have all the views in 'perf report', for instance: [root@emilia ~]# perf top --sort dso PerfTop: 5903 irqs/sec kernel:77.5% exact: 0.0% [1000Hz cycles], (all, 8 CPUs) ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ 31.59% libcrypto.so.1.0.0 21.55% [kernel] 18.57% libpython2.6.so.1.0 7.04% libc-2.12.so 6.99% _backend_agg.so 4.72% sshd 1.48% multiarray.so 1.39% libfreetype.so.6.3.22 1.37% perf 0.71% libgobject-2.0.so.0.2200.5 0.53% [tg3] 0.48% libglib-2.0.so.0.2200.5 0.44% libstdc++.so.6.0.13 0.40% libcairo.so.2.10800.8 0.38% libm-2.12.so 0.34% umath.so 0.30% libgdk-x11-2.0.so.0.1800.9 0.22% libpthread-2.12.so 0.20% libgtk-x11-2.0.so.0.1800.9 0.20% librt-2.12.so 0.15% _path.so 0.13% libpango-1.0.so.0.2800.1 0.11% libatlas.so.3.0 0.09% ft2font.so 0.09% libpangoft2-1.0.so.0.2800.1 0.08% libX11.so.6.3.0 0.07% [vdso] 0.06% cyclictest ^C All the filter lists can be used as well: --dsos, --comms, --symbols, etc. The 'perf report' TUI is also reused, being possible to apply all the zoom operations, do annotation, etc. This change will allow multiple simplifications in the symbol system as well, that will be detailed in upcoming changesets.

perf tools: Add support for disabling -Werror via WERROR=0

2011-09-23T17:38:07Z

GCC often introduces new warnings with lots of false positives - breaking -Werror builds. WERROR=0 allows one to build perf without much fuss - while still encouraging people to send patches to avoid the fuss of having to type WERROR=0. Bisecting back to commits that produce a (mostly harmless) warning on some compilers is more difficult. With WERROR=0 one could bisect without worrying about harmless warnings.

perf tools: Add support to install perf python extension

2011-08-08T15:54:26Z

Adding install-python_ext target to install python extension related files. Installation directory is governed by python distutils package and follows the DESTDIR variable settings. Also moving python extension build output into '$(O)python_ext_build' directory and making it configurable via PYTHON_EXTBUILD variable. Keeping the '$(O)python/perf.so' file, so it could be used for testing as of until now.

perf tools, x86: Fix 32-bit compile on 64-bit system

2011-07-21T11:42:30Z

Builds for 32-bit perf binaries on a 64-bit host currently fail with this error: [...] bench/../../../arch/x86/lib/memcpy_64.S: Assembler messages: bench/../../../arch/x86/lib/memcpy_64.S:29: Error: bad register name `%rdi' bench/../../../arch/x86/lib/memcpy_64.S:34: Error: invalid instruction suffix for `movs' bench/../../../arch/x86/lib/memcpy_64.S:50: Error: bad register name `%rdi' bench/../../../arch/x86/lib/memcpy_64.S:61: Error: bad register name `%rdi' ... The problem is the detection of the host arch without considering passed in flags. This change fixes 32-bit builds via: make EXTRA_CFLAGS=-m32 and 64-bit builds still reference the memcpy_64.S.
